Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar module zone (110) of a solar module (100), the solar module zone (110) comprising an array of solar cells (101,201) arranged in pairs of substrings (104) along columns of the array, wherein each substring (104) comprises a plurality of solar cells (101,201) electrically connected in series along the column the substring (104) extends in; each pair of substrings (104) comprises two substrings (104) that extend along the columns, particularly adjacent columns, and that are electrically connected in series, and wherein all pairs of substrings (104) are electrically connected in parallel; each pair of substrings (104) comprises a positive and a negative end terminal (105) for connecting the pair of substrings (104) to a plus and a minus pole of the solar module (100), wherein the negative and the positive end terminals (105) of each pair of substrings (104) are located adjacent to each other in an end terminal-connecting portion of the solar module zone (110), particularly

Abstract: The invention relates to a frame for photovoltaic modules into which connection sockets and module electronics can be integrated so as to be easily accessible and which is simultaneously used as a guide system for connection cables.

Abstract: A solar module includes a plurality of solar cells arranged on the front side of a carrier of the solar module is described, wherein a plurality of conductive ribbons electrically contacts the solar cells and extends from the front side to a rear side of the carrier. The carrier is circumferentially surrounded by a frame of the solar module. A connection system includes the solar module and a connection box, which can further be connected to module electronics via a socket of the connection box in order to form a solar module system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic circuit for photovoltaic modules, which circuit ensures that the magnitude of the reverse voltage of each solar cell in a solar module does not exceed a particular value at any time. The problem solved by the invention is that of ensuring that the electrical voltage of each solar cell string within the photovoltaic module does not fall below a particular value.
